The announcement comes following years of speculation about the movie.
Last January producer of the first Top Gun, Jerry Bruckheimer, led to speculation after tweeting that he had met with the 54 year old actor to discuss the project.

Rumours were fueled further in October when Cruise told Graham Norton “We’re discussing it...We’re trying to figure it out.”
We just hope Charlie comes back too.
